Chapter 155 The Cold and Aloof Immortal's Darkened Daoist Partner 4
The tombs of immortals are forbidden grounds for cultivators.
Entering the realm below the ascension means certain death.
Those who have ascended are no longer in this realm; those who remain in this realm are those who have not yet ascended.
In other words, it's a place where whoever goes there dies.
It's no wonder Yun Qing reacted so strongly.
The novel does not describe the immortal's tomb in detail; it is only briefly mentioned in a plot where righteous cultivators are chasing down demonic cultivators.
That demonic cultivator committed countless evil deeds and possessed profound cultivation, attracting the righteous cultivators to besiege and exterminate him.
Finally, the demonic cultivator, having nowhere else to go, fled into the immortal's tomb. The righteous cultivators then ceased their pursuit, all asserting that he was doomed.
Some people even say that even if Immortal Venerable Yunze enters it, he will not be able to get out.
But now Zong Yunze has come to this dangerous place. Should we say that he is highly skilled and daring, or that he is not afraid of death?
It's one thing for him to come, but why did he have to bring her, this remnant soul, along with him?
[System, the male lead won't die, will he? If he dies, will my mission fail?]
Just as Yun Qing was filled with worry, the system suddenly said: "[It's alright, you're out now.]"
Yun Qing: ...
It was quite sudden.
Yun Qing listened carefully again and asked in confusion, "Why is there still a dripping sound?"
The system sighed: "[That's not the sound of dripping water; it's Zong Yunze bleeding. He was injured by the sword formation, and the residual sword energy is making his wounds difficult to heal.]"
It felt that this place probably really buried immortals, with remnants of formations and barriers everywhere, possessing immense power, and the guardian beasts were all incredibly strong.
No wonder cultivators in this world dare not go in.
Anyone who dared to go in is probably already trapped inside.
[System, why is the plot different from what we agreed on? What's going on here?]
The system replied casually, "It's alright, the plot didn't fall apart because of you, the Heavenly Dao won't target you."
Zong Yunze brought you here to find spiritual objects to nourish your soul and rare and precious materials to reshape your physical body.
[The spiritual energy here is exceptionally abundant, nurturing many rare and precious spiritual objects, and there are even treasures suspected to have been left behind by immortals. Unfortunately, it's just too dangerous.]
In the end, he only took two of the most crucial spiritual treasures: one for nourishing the soul and the other for reshaping the physical body. These two items were likely unavailable elsewhere; the only place to obtain them was here.
With these two crucial spiritual treasures, although you cannot be fully restored immediately, your soul can awaken quickly, and your physical body can be reconstructed instantly.
You now have a physical body, but your soul hasn't fully awakened, and you lack other senses and are unaware of your body's existence.
What it didn't say was that before coming out, Zong Yunze had his eye on a Soul-Nourishing Spirit Grass, but after stroking the jade pendant at his waist, he gave up on it.
It's probably worried that it's already injured and won't be able to protect its host.
Yun Qing was stunned by what the system said.
Zong Yunze actually came to such a dangerous place so that she could recover as quickly as possible?
So he did his best in trying to bring her back to life, right?
Is it because he and the female lead have only known each other for a short time and haven't developed any romantic feelings yet, and his conscience hasn't been eaten by dogs?
But if he hadn't developed feelings for the female lead, why was he so eager to bring her back to life?
He could have taken it slowly and didn't have to take such a big risk.
Where exactly did things go wrong?
[Wait! System, you said I already have a physical body? So, is Zong Yunze carrying me on his back right now?]
The system suppressed a laugh and said, "No, you'll know what happened when you wake up."
Yun Qing had a bad feeling; she had a sense that this physical body might not be normal.
She could hear a constant "tick-tock" sound, and it was quite fast. Gradually, Yunqing began to worry.
What will happen to her in her current condition if something happens to Zong Yunze? Will she be devoured by a ferocious beast?
Fortunately, Zong Yunze did not force himself to endure it. He set up an array and a barrier on the spot and then began to heal his injuries in seclusion.
Yun Qing could only hear, and couldn't hear any human voices, so she felt a little bored and soon fell asleep again.
I woke up again, startled.
[System! Something touched me!]
The system calmly reassured, "[Stay calm, calm down, you've regained your sense of touch.]"
Yun Qing retorted angrily: "Is that the point? The point is that something touched me! It touched my hand, fine, but it also touched my face, my waist, my legs..."
[Don't panic, this is Zong Yunze checking your physical condition. He personally created this body of yours, so touching it now shouldn't cause much harm... right?]
Yun Qing: !!!
Is that the same? He was just sculpting materials to reshape the body before, but now he's touching me!
Wait, is he dressing me? So I wasn't wearing any clothes before?
"Ahem... Don't worry, given your current appearance, even if he were a beast, he wouldn't do anything to you."
Hearing you say that makes me panic!
What kind of image did Zong Yunze create for her? Was it not human?
Zong Yunze, perhaps realizing she was awake, tentatively called out to her, "Junior Sister?"
The voice carried a hint of coolness and was very pleasant to the ear, but Yun Qing couldn't give any response at all.
After a moment of silence, Yun Qing suddenly felt a touch on her forehead, followed by a warm sensation throughout her body.
Yun Qing stretched comfortably.
Did you stretch?
She can move now! Ahhhhhh!
The warm feeling disappeared, and Yun Qing suddenly opened her eyes and got up from the "ground".
The system quickly reminded her, "[Host, character design, character design!]"
So, Yun Qing went from excitedly wanting to run two laps to slowly walking one lap with a cool expression.
That's right, the original owner of this body was a cold and aloof person, just as cold as Zong Yunze.
When two cold people are together, they always act with propriety and don't show any particularly intimate behavior. They don't talk much, and most of the time they discuss cultivation issues.
Perhaps that's why Zong Yunze had such a different feeling when he met Lin Yao'er, who was naive, sweet, clingy, and always needed his protection.
So from the beginning, he favored this little apprentice, and later he secretly developed feelings for her, until he was deeply in love and believed that she was his true love.
Furthermore, he denied his past relationship with Chu Yunqing, believing that their relationship was merely one of shared ideals, not romantic love.
In Yun Qing's opinion, this is why Zong Yunze has now become the number one person in the righteous path, and his cultivation has almost reached its peak.
If it were a thousand or eight hundred years earlier, when Zong Yunze still needed to work hard and cultivate diligently, would you have seen him fall in love with Lin Yao'er or find her annoying?
Let's imagine.
Just when he was trying to focus on his cultivation, she got into trouble, and he had to rush off to clean up her mess.
Just when he was about to focus on his cultivation again, she came to him again, acting all cute and wanting this and that, and also wanting him to play with her.
Just when he was about to focus on his cultivation again, she was bullied once more, and he had no choice but to help her get justice.
If this continues, Zong Yunze might not be able to become the leader of the righteous path.
If he still deeply loves Lin Yao'er after all this, then she will believe that it is true love!
Just as Yun Qing was maintaining a cool and aloof demeanor while inwardly complaining, she suddenly noticed a colossal creature in front of her.
She strained to look up and saw a huge ice sculpture... a person who looked like an ice sculpture!
Yun Qing silently took a step back, her expression unchanged, but she was a little confused. [System, how come this person is so big?]
It looks like I could crush her with a single finger. Is she some kind of giant?
The system said quietly, "Host, have you ever considered that it's not that he's too big, but that you're too small?"
Yun Qing: !!!
